Are you fucking retarded? Millions of researchers in the world and you think none of them would connect the dots? Publish the data? Invite young journos to interview about so it catches wind, then spread like wildfire on the internet/ social media?

what stops us from acquiring eternal life by using the same trick as cancer cells?
